Operating Instructions

Lawn Thatching

NOTE – Your sweeper is provided with a

polypropylene brush. Brushes with 1/2 poly–
1/2 wire or full wire sections may damage
lawns by pulling out the live grass. Brushes
made with wire are not recommended for lawn
thatching.

Carry the sweeper with the implement lift slightly raised
to limit ground contact. Brush bristles should barely
touch the ground while sweeping under load.

Slower brush speeds and slower ground speeds are
more suitable for lawn thatching. This gives the brush
time to pull out the dead grass and minimizes the
bouncing of the brush head, which can cause lawn
damage due to excessive ground contact.

Minimize dust by sweeping when moisture is high (but
not wet).

__________________________________________

Preferred Wind Directions
When Sweeping

Leaf Raking

Carry the sweeper with implement lift slightly raised to
limit contact with the grass.

Use slower brush speeds and slow-to-medium travel
speeds when raking leaves.

For best results, rake leaves on days when leaf mois-
ture is high.

__________________________________________

General Sweeping

Minimize dust by reducing brush speeds and by
sweeping on days with high moisture. Try to keep wind
at your side or back. (Refer to figure 1.)

For light material, angle the sweeper 30° left or right.

Prevent damage to the sweeper by removing large
foreign objects.
